Shop back open!

My Etsy shop is back open for business. I will spend the next while stocking it up again. If there is something someone wants and it is not listed please feel free to contact me on etsy with requests.

Box Fort!

It is a beautiful day here in the Portland area. I went to coffee with Tristan and my friend Liz this morning at Jim and Patty's on Fremont. What a fun morning hang out place and it is always buzz with people wanting their excellent coffee fix. Then I came home to DeLuca playing in a small box fort her Quentin had made her. All in all it makes for a wonderful day with family and friends.

Tristan Oliver is Here!

We waited and waited for this little boy to arrive and he finally arrived fashionably late at 7:58 pm on May 8th, 2009. He weighed 9lbs 11oz. was 21 1/4" long and had a 14 1/2" head. He is a sweet guy who is healthy and growing well. We are getting to know each other and his big sister is fascinated with the "baby".

My Creative Sister!

My sister Melissa has always been a creative spirit gleaning scraps from anywhere that she might be able to up-cycle. When she was young she made this doll house which I wrote about last year on my blog.

This is her newest creation: These adorable book ends! I told her to try to sell them on Etsy but she is worried that they are too heavy to ship for a reasonable cost. She even posted a great tutorial on how she made them in her blog post here.

Top Momma!

I made it to the front page on TopMomma. Stop by and see me there by clicking on this link.
